Chapter 142: Asmoday? Just a Scapegoat

Can a god who loves people watch their own people being subjected to various human experiments?

But she still tacitly approved of the Doctor's existence; if there were no tricks or oddities in this matter, Mu Yang wouldn't believe it no matter what.

Unless Morax, Barbatos, and Beelzebub all deceived him, and the information about the Cryo Archon they told him was all false.

"Everyone lost too much back then!!" Venti took a sip of wine and sighed deeply: "Actually, I have already made my attitude very clear; having not appeared for such a long time, the Cryo Archon should know my attitude.

But they are still looking for my movements; perhaps it's also because of the movements on Celestia that she has also started to get anxious, right?"

"You can also completely explain that the movements on Celestia are too big, and you are being watched by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, so you don't dare to move..." Mu Yang chuckled and gave an idea without caring:

Anyway, this pot belongs to Asmoday, not her.

In the eyes of the Seven Archons, Asmoday is not a good person, and she even drops nails; it is very normal for Venti, this Anemo Archon, to be afraid of Asmoday.

"This seems like a good idea." Venti's eyes lit up and he said: "To be honest, I still don't want to take action against Signora; she should also be on the Cryo Archon's side, and can be considered a die-hard loyalist of the Cryo Archon."

At this time, Mu Yang thought of some plot points in Genshin Impact; Signora was pitted to death by Scaramouche.

He took the Gnosis but didn't tell Signora, letting Signora die in vain at the Tenshukaku.

On the surface, it seems like he wanted to use Signora to give Raiden Ei an explanation.

Indeed, they, the Fatui, caused huge trouble for Inazuma, but you also killed our Fatui Harbinger; she is our envoy from Snezhnaya.

We won't ask you for an explanation, and you can't cause us trouble either.

Looking at the later plot, there was no conflict between Inazuma and Snezhnaya, and the two countries didn't go to war directly...

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Inazuma's national strength was consumed too much, or that there was some kind of tacit understanding between Raiden Ei and the Cryo Archon.

But now it looks like this seems more like internal friction.

The initial statement was that Scaramouche ran away directly, betraying Snezhnaya and betraying the Fatui.

So he didn't tell Signora.

But this setting was eaten; Scaramouche didn't betray the Fatui at that time, at least he kept in touch with the Doctor, and even "became a god" with the help of the Doctor.

Of course, this becoming a god was just an experiment, and there was still a significant difference between Scaramouche and a true Archon; he didn't even beat a Nahida.

Although he crushed the little feather ball hundreds of times, no matter how you look at that battle, it was Scaramouche being teased by Nahida.

He didn't even discover that he was being simulated in battle; such a "god" is indeed too useless.

What Nahida said—having the combat power of an Archon but not the core of an Archon—this sentence is not wrong.

But all of this seems to be under the Doctor's control; in other words, Scaramouche didn't actually defect at that time, and Signora was pitted to death.

And Signora is a die-hard loyalist of the Cryo Archon; is there any special trick in this?

Childe is also a die-hard loyalist of the Cryo Archon; sending Childe to Fontaine—could it be that they want to pit Childe to death?

But logically speaking, Childe shouldn't die; after all, he is an up character.

Even Mu Yang had various conspiracy theories appear in his mind at this time, and these conspiracy theories were not groundless; on the contrary, they were inferred by Mu Yang based on the intelligence he currently possessed.

Forget it, let the others grow for a while longer before going to find that Cryo Archon.

"Why don't we go and see Rosalyne!" After pondering for a moment, Mu Yang suggested to Venti.

"You're sure you want to go and see Rosalyne?" Venti was also shocked; he had been avoiding Signora during this time.

It was to avoid being recognized by the other party; but if Signora investigated him, those guys probably wouldn't stop.

"You just need to say that the Gnosis cannot be handed over, and tell her to tell the Cryo Archon that you are being watched by Asmoday." Mu Yang shrugged, "At this time, she wouldn't want to fight you to the death either.

According to my estimation, those Fatui who infiltrated Mondstadt during this time are all aiming for you.

If you don't appear, those guys might do something to force you to appear."

"Destroy Mondstadt and then force me to appear? This is indeed a way to make me appear." Venti didn't deny it; this kind of thing is not something the former Cryo Archon would do.

But if the Fatui were to do it, it seems like a very normal thing; as for whether this would piss him off.

Given the current Mondstadt, it really can't do anything.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of some people, he, the Anemo Archon Barbatos, is really just a soft persimmon.

Unless he is willing to take back the power he has spread out, otherwise he really cannot retaliate against Snezhnaya.

For Venti, such a discovery is truly hard for him to accept.

"It seems I really have to see Rosalyne." Venti could imagine what Rosalyne would do for the Gnosis now.

Those guys have already started to use all means; to avoid Mondstadt suffering too many meaningless casualties, perhaps it is indeed time to meet.

Anyway, the scapegoat will be Asmoday's, and it has nothing to do with him.

Hehe!

Moreover, Asmoday wouldn't care what he said; after all, these ideas were all Mu Yang's.

He found that life now is much more comfortable than before.

Mondstadt will become better and better in the future, his erosion is being solved, and his divine power is also growing; if it weren't for the Abyss Order and the Fatui constantly causing trouble, it would be almost perfect.

Of course, if the people of the Abyss Order could only try to use Abyssal filth to pollute him, instead of wanting to do all kinds of things, he would rather play slowly with the people of the Abyss Order.

"Are you going to come along too?" Venti then said to Mu Yang: "Didn't you want to keep a low profile before?

You even wanted to hide yourself; if you and I, the Anemo Archon, appear together, the Fatui will pay even more attention to you in the future, right?"

"As long as the Cryo Archon doesn't appear with the Gnosis, it's hard to know my true identity." Mu Yang shook his head slightly: "Moreover, as the husband of the Raiden Shogun, being good friends with the Anemo Archon isn't hard to understand, right?"

Venti gave Mu Yang a thumbs up secretly upon hearing this; as the Anemo Archon, the wind can tell him all kinds of intelligence.

Of course, if Mu Yang wanted to block something, he wouldn't be able to know.

But the key is that Mu Yang and Raiden Ei themselves didn't want to hide anything; instead, they generously moved into the Tenshukaku, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious: we are together.

In terms of intelligence, Venti is definitely the strongest on the Teyvat continent.

Where there is wind, it can bring information to Venti.

Of course, Venti wouldn't let the thousand winds probe some special places.

On this point, he still has principles, and other gods wouldn't blame Barbatos for anything; after all, he is the Anemo Archon, and it wasn't intentional.

Moreover, without wind, without the flow of air, the climate would also have problems!

"Alright!" Venti's mouth twitched.

To be honest, when he found out about this, he was also dumbfounded; after all, he wasn't unfamiliar with Raiden Ei.

That woman actually finding a woman—it's simply magical.

He felt that even if Mu Yang wanted to find a woman, it would be resurrecting Raiden Makoto or Greater Lord Rukkhadevata; those gods would be more suitable for Mu Yang.

Of course, Asmoday and the like were directly ignored by Venti.

Don't look at Asmoday being the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and very powerful; if you calculate carefully, she is just a scapegoat.

Still a scapegoat who has no way to deal with Mu Yang.

Just like now, he can openly mention Asmoday, and he can also let the other party take the blame.

Of course, the premise must be that Mu Yang is by his side; otherwise, he is really a bit afraid of nails falling from the sky suddenly.

…………………………………………………………

Inside the Goth Grand Hotel, Signora looked coldly at the Mirror Maiden in front of her and said coldly: "How is it? Still haven't found information on the Anemo Archon Barbatos?"

"Lady Signora, we have already investigated in the City of Mondstadt and some places where the Anemo Archon might appear.

We haven't found the Anemo Archon's figure." The Mirror Maiden replied respectfully: "Some people even suspect that the Anemo Archon is no longer in Mondstadt."

"How could he not be in Mondstadt?

How could that guy not be in Mondstadt?

If he is not in Mondstadt, where are we supposed to find him?

That useless Anemo Archon, how could he do this!" Signora exploded upon hearing this and started cursing incessantly.

For the Anemo Archon Barbatos, she had always had resentment, and for Mondstadt, her heart was also filled with complexity.

On one hand, it was resentment that these guys let Rostam sacrifice himself, and they also ostracized her back then.

On the other hand, she also hoped that Mondstadt could become better; after all, this was the place where Rostam once worked and struggled, and even if this country had problems, that man still guarded Mondstadt.

If Mondstadt really reached a crisis of destruction, Signora herself knew that she would also step forward and continue to protect Mondstadt.

At least she couldn't let Rostam's sacrifice be in vain, right?

But now the Anemo Archon has appeared twice, and she hasn't encountered him even once; how could Signora not be anxious?
